PhD Opportunities in Nursing in Portugal

MARCH – Menstrual health and resilience in challenging military environments is a PhD project at the University of Southampton examining why heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB) may be recognised late in servicewomen undertaking demanding military training. The research will investigate how the physical and psychological stresses of military training affect the gut and vaginal microbiome and metabolome, and whether these changes are associated with HMB. The project aims to identify biological markers ...

The Ph.D. in City and Regional Planning at the University of California, Berkeley provides advanced training in urban and planning theory, research, and the practice of planning. Established in 1968, the program has educated doctoral researchers who have gone on to work as planning educators, social science researchers and theorists, policymakers, and practitioners. The Department of City & Regional Planning studies how cities, infrastructure, and public services can become more sustainable, aff...

This PhD project explores how multi-material additive manufacturing and computational design can be combined to create structures that do more than carry loads: they can sense, respond, and adapt to changing use conditions and human needs. You will work on fabrication-aware design methods for 3D-printed adaptive structures , investigating how geometry, material distribution, embedded electronics functions, and manufacturing parameters can be designed together to achieve both structural performan...

This PhD opening is at Umeå University , within the Faculty Office of Medicine . The faculty is described as a large research and education environment with responsibility for biomedical research and teaching in nursing and health care, and it offers extensive research and graduate education across many subjects. The advert presents Umeå University as a broad, research-intensive institution with a strong emphasis on collaboration, open academic culture, and societal transformation. The PhD stude...

This PhD project sits within an NWO-funded study on how organisations can build positive cybersecurity solutions by learning from what already works well. Rather than focusing on failures, the project asks what successful organisations do differently across the individual, team, and organisational levels to prevent cyber incidents or reduce their impact. The advertised PhD position concentrates on the organisational level of that broader research question. The selected candidate will carry out e...

This PhD project at Amsterdam UMC focuses on the relationship between the heart and hemodynamics in surgical and critically ill patients. Using transthoracic echocardiography together with continuous hemodynamic blood pressure measurements, the doctoral researcher will help answer clinical questions in anesthesiology and intensive care medicine. The position is embedded in the DYNAMO research group within the Adult Intensive Care and Anesthesiology departments at Amsterdam UMC. The group works i...

At Radboudumc, this PhD project is part of the national REGAIN study on clitoral reconstruction after vulvar cancer. The project sits at the intersection of gynaecological oncology, plastic surgery, sexual health, and patient-centred care, with close collaboration between the departments of Gynaecological Oncology and Plastic Surgery. The doctoral researcher will play a central role in coordinating and delivering a multicentre, prospective stepped-wedge study across all nine Dutch centres for gy...

This funded PhD project at Ulster University’s School of Pharmacy & Pharmaceutical Sciences will investigate how digitally enabled, patient-centred approaches can support safer deprescribing for older adults living with frailty in Northern Ireland. The research will examine the intersections between health literacy, frailty and medication use. The doctoral researcher will co-design and pilot a digitally enabled intervention intended to support safer prescribing and deprescribing, with direct ali...

This fully funded four-year PhD project is based in the Medicinal Chemistry Laboratory of the Department of Organic Chemistry at the Universidad Complutense de Madrid in Spain. The research focuses on chemically induced proximity for the development of targeted therapies against cancer and progeria. The doctoral researcher will investigate chemical mechanisms that bring proteins into proximity to produce therapeutic effects, combining chemical proteomics, E3 ligase validation, and PROTAC develop...
